Hi everyone,

It seems that the routes I fly are high in demand yet my planes are less than half filled up. For example, I have a route Barcelona to London. The demand is about 1200 people a day and the plane I fly carries about 200 people. There is another airline that flies there that carries about 150 people. I'm only getting 42% on that plane though. Last game I know I would get almost double that amount on a route like that. I just want to know either if it's a change in the game or a bug or it's just my route image. Anyone else having that dilemna, or is everyone and my airline just like everyone elses. Oh and my ticket prices are 5 dollars under default. Thanks

All ready said in the forum, sami said the answers there:

"In short - when you start your airline the company is unknown and all the routes are new and unknown to public. This means that you CAN NOT attract full planes right from the start unless your pricing is very low. So with near-deafult pricing you can except some 30-50% load factors, depending a bit on how large route you operate."

Thank you. I pretty much had that in mind. Just wanted to verify. Cool Beans
